How to grow:
Direct seed (recommended) – After last frost. Cover seeds as darkness aids germination. Successive sowing every 2-3 weeks, spring through summer. Blooms appear approximately 3 months after sowing. Alternatively sow in modules 4–6 weeks before last frost and transplant when large enough to handle. While transplanting is possible, plants dislike root disturbance so we recommend seeding directly into the soil for best results.
Flowers:
July to October.
